Have you ever read a story where the main characters you’d grown to love simply disappeared?
In such a case, the writer had better hook the readers strongly because a storyline is as much about the characters as about the plots.
Or is it?
In this storyline, where billions of us depend on each other for fuel, food, clothing and shelter, what happens to the storyline if we all disappear?
After all, aren’t we also the readers?
Or are we?
What if this story was written for (a set or sets of) states of energy that are not of our genetic code sequence?
Perhaps I am giving too much away at this juncture. I don’t know.
We can spend time here arguing about whether the best storyline shows or tells but in either case the storyline is and the storyline continues with or without us.
It is in that direction that our storyline proceeds from this point.
How our lives do or do not connect to the storyline from this point forward is up to your interpretation.
We in this storyline who have served as characters on the Committee who assigned subcommittees to put into play certain events may reappear but our appearance is irrelevant. We are like the fables of old. No, we ARE the fables of old, retold.

As for me, I return to my humble self, squeezing technology in my fingers until stories drip out like blood from turnips, relying on my network of spies out in the open sending the most obvious signs of what happens [supposedly] behind closed doors, where my spies stand and listen to the conversations as people walk out and about on their walkabouts, looking for phrases and word trails that give away thought patterns which fill in the blank places that shape the missing information clear as dry pavement under umbrellas in the rain.

Thanks to Anthony at Best Buy Mobile, Patty at Dreamland BBQ, and the kids working in the Madison Square Mall, which is so much like a ghost town it ought to be converted into a business office mall or headquarters for a bunch of incubated startups on the edge of one of the largest technology parks in America — talk about an ideal place for synergy!
